Teotitlan del Valle
Teotitlán del Valle, in Oaxaca, is famous for the elaboration of handmade wool rugs using ancestral pedal loom techniques. What makes these rugs stand out is the use of natural pigments extracted from local plants, minerals and insects, such as cochineal, pomegranate and indigo, which gives them vibrant and long-lasting colors. This tradition, passed down through generations, reflects the rich Oaxacan culture and respect for the environment. Visiting the town is an excellent opportunity to learn about this artisanal process and purchase unique rugs made by the talented local weavers.
Hierve el Agua
We explore the petrified waterfalls of Hierve el Agua, where we will spend two hours and thirty minutes to first take a walk around and then refresh in the natural pools that store water with great mineral content. During the hike you will appreciate the different views of the set of waterfalls that exist in the place. You will also find small water springs that give life to the petrified formations. The most amazing part of the place is at the bottom, where you can appreciate the fall of the waterfall and from its base you will be able to capture the best pictures for your memories. When you come back from the hike you can refresh yourself in the pools area or just take the time to meditate and contemplate the beautiful landscape, which is surrounded by mountains that are a magnificent backdrop to the site.

An unforgettable day! Hierve el Agua was stunning, Mitla full of history, and the Tule Tree was awe-inspiring. We loved learning about mezcal and watching Zapotec weaving up close. Huge thanks to Pavel, our amazing guide—knowledgeable, kind, and full of energy. And big appreciation to Ricardo, who helped us navigate the language barrier and made sure we felt comfortable and included every step of the way. Both made the tour smooth, fun, and truly special. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Oaxaca!

Excellent tour, tour guide and driver. We thoroughly enjoyed all the stops of this tour. The natural beauty of the tule tree and the hierve de agua were amazing. The history of the artisans, mitle, and history of the mezcal were kept you entranced.
